Since the new Fenty Beauty line came out, a new word is on every beauty bloggers lips: Dry Down. So what is it and what's the difference between Oxidation and Dry Down? I'm going to tell you!
What is Oxidizing?
Let's start with an oldie but goodie. What does oxidation mean? Scientifically, oxidation is when a molecule, atom, or ion loses electrons. So for something to oxidize the oxidation state has to rise. To give an example that actually makes sense, think of an apple turning brown or a pipe rusting. Some things oxidize easier than others depending on the circumstances. Speaking

So this Hulk body paint tutorial has an interesting begining... My first attempt at the Hulk looked more like a pop art zombie than a comic book character lol. Luckily for you guys... well me really, I'm stubborn as hell and I can't let things go. It also goes to show that "If at first you don't succeed, try and try again" is actually pretty accurate, even for art. So before I give you some tips for this Hulk body paint tutorial, here's a little about the "other guy".
Who is the Hulk?
The hulk is proof that you can have brains

So I'm sure some of you are wondering why I'm doing a Space Ghost body paint. Why not? But seriously, I went to the Space Coast with my boo thang a few weeks ago and it reminded me of the mini show "Space Ghost Coast to Coast". That and my boyfriend kept singing the beginning part of the original Space Ghost theme song. I'm a weird cookie. Sue me. So before I give you guys some tips and tricks for this Space Ghost body paint, here's a little about him.

Bejeweled Mermaid Makeup Tutorial
Today's video is brought to you in part by Sephora #NotSponsored! Just Kidding... well about the sponsored part anyway... kinda, mostly because Sephora only pays me when I work in their stores. Anyway, we had a Sephora Collection event, and our managers wanted us to have a bright summer look. That was my inspiration! As you can see, no where in this beautiful look does she glue a bunch of rhinestones to her face, but I'm a little extra like that. Besides, this look plus my hair just screams mythical creature. So without further adieu, here's the

Today we'll be going over how to bake and whether or not you actually should.
Should you bake or not depends on a few things:
1. What type of skin you have
2. How much make-up you are applying
3. What kind of look you are going for.
Now, if you have very dry skin (especially under the eyes) or more mature skin, baking might now be for you. The reason for this is because powders tend to suck up moisture. If you're already starting off dry, that's a disaster waiting to happen. As we mature our skin tends to dry out, so- I'm sorry ladies-

If you hear Darth Nihilus face paint tutorial, there's a good chance you have no idea who I'm talking about. So without further aidu , here's a little about Darth Nihilus.
Who Is Darth Nihilus?
Contrary to what his mask might make you believe, he's actually human. Now, don't put him down as an easy character to beat. Even for a Sith, he's a force to be reckoned with. But before we talk about the Lord of Hunger, let's get into a little bit about how he got his title.
Before he became a Sith, he survived the activation of the Mass Shadow

So the first video I wanted to put out is more of a discussion- Is Makeup art? There's many of differing views on that one, depending on if you're a pro or an enthusiast. Personally I don't think it's a simple yes or no answer. Makeup is art, yes, because you have to be creative to a point, but you also have to have a critical eye to be good at it.
So Is Makeup Art?
My only real issue with the is makeup art argument is that many people who say yes it is, don't realize that art is subject to
